WP Admin crashes in XML mode

[Anne]

Send the correct HTTP header for the admin ( header("content-type:application/xhtml+xml"); ) and see what happens.

Let me try that again: ​http://annevankesteren.nl/projects/wordpress/evil/wp-admin/

Although I have reported it as a crashing bug, it is probably just 'minor', since most users won't bother. I don't really care myself either, since everything works fine at the moment (except for that admini), but this was just a reminder to make the claim, valid XHTML, true.

Some people argue it isn't the (only) correct HTTP header for XHTML; fine with me, but this is easier to debug and 'text/html' doesn't make it validate either.

Ok, I've updated most of the admin files to fix all the problems I could find. Everything I tested now comes up fine when served with application/xhtml+xml, but I may have missed some things, so further testing would be appreciated.

[Anne]

I will download a new nightly tomorrow and test.

Anne: Thanks... hopefully there won't be any problems, but I'm sure a couple got by me.

I made one more change, and I'm setting this to resolved. Any further XHTML/XML problems can be opened as bugs for the particular admin files they occur in.

[JasonV]

No problems thus far so I'm closing this one. Like I said, any problems that arise can be opened as their own bug.
